Chapter 32: Chapter 32

"Kimmy let's go home. I'm not comfortable in here." I complained.

"Emi, don't spoil this beautiful night by being such a boring friend," Kimberly said.

We are now in a bar and it is my first time to set foot in this kind of place. She used to ask me to go with her to a bar because I don't like going to such places and I'm right it doesn’t look good. The loud music, the smell of alcohol, the smell of cigarettes combined make me want to throw up. The drunk people dancing erotically on the dance floor give me goosebumps.

"Come on, you always decline my invitation. But now it's a different story we will celebrate okay. You should take a break sometimes. Look at you, you look so old because you just always stay home. Emily we just graduated, let's party before we take the next chapter of our life." Kimberly scolded me.

"All right, okay for you I will endure being in this place," I said surrendering.

On the other hand, Kimberly is right. After four years of studying really hard, after the pressure and now our hard work was paid off since we graduated with honors we do need a break and relax.

The next step is to find a job and that will be another chapter of our life. We might not be together anymore there is a huge possibility that we will not work for the same school.

"Emily let’s party!!! Woohoo!!!" Kimberly screamed.

"Kimmy shut up!" I said while covering her mouth. She hit my hand before removing it from her mouth.

"Emily one more and I'll kick you out." She warned.

"But you're screaming," I said.

"Of course, this is a bar. It is normal to scream out of joy here. See, I always want to bring you here but you always say no now look you're being ignorant." She said in a low but firm voice. I just sigh deeply and let her do what she wants.

She grabbed my hand and take me to the dance floor. Kimberly us dancing sexily as she was grinding her hips while I am awkwardly clapping my hands and slightly moving my body. Kimberly laughed at my dance step.

Suddenly a man came out of nowhere I didn't notice how he arrived but now he was dancing in front of Kimberly and me. He then put his hand in Kimberly's waist and I saw my best friend just smile at the man and also put her arms around his neck.

I am now witnessing how they dance erotically. They are now grinding and winding on each other's bodies. It's like Kimberly has already forgotten that she is with me so I excuse myself and sit on the counter.

"Why? Why did you do this to me? All I ever did was love you." I heard a voice of a man.

I then look where the voice came from and he was just next to me. I didn't notice the man sitting next to me at the counter. His head almost touched the counter it looks like he is very drunk, no, the right word is he is wasted. He was holding a drink in his right hand and his left-hand keeps on hitting the table.

"Sir, that's enough. You are very drunk." Said the bartender seemed worried to the man.

“Says who? I’m not drinking one more vodka. I can pay for all the drinks here. It's your job to serve me drinks not to tell me what to do you understand?" Said the drunk man. The bartender just sigh and shook his head as he give him another drink.

I felt sorry for the man. I feel pity for him it seems like he has a really big problem. He men about love so it seems it's a heart problem. That's why I don't get into relationship thingy it will only give me headaches and heartache.

"Excuse me miss. What is your order?" Asked the same bartender who served the man a drink.

"I don't drink, do you have a nonalcoholic beverage?" I asked shyly. This is so embarrassing I thought.

"Of course we do. We have juice and iced tea we also have coffee and chocolate drink." He replied.

"Pineapple juice," I said and he just nod.

While waiting for my order I secretly glanced at the man next to me who is drinking like there's no tomorrow. He is undeniably handsome the word handsome is a poor word to describe him. He looks like a Greek God who came down from heaven. I wonder what happened to him if his wife or girlfriend broke his heart, how she could do that. How could she break a man as handsome as him?

"He has been drinking since the bar opened and that was four hours ago. So yeah he's been drinking for four hours now." The bartender spoke which brought me back to my senses. Another embarrassing moment that he noticed I am staring at the wasted man beside me.

"He has a really big problem I guess," I said.

As I spoke the drunk man look my way it looks like he already noticed my presence. He smiled at me with his sparkling eyes. My heart beats crazily fast. I gulped as he reached out his hand and touch my face. I want to stand up and run but I can't move.

"Lindsay." He said. I cleared my throat.

"I'm sorry my name is not Lindsay," I said.

"Then what is your name, beautiful lady?" He asked.

"Emily," I replied. He smiled and stand up. He hold my hand and pulled me to stand up.

We are now standing face to face and he is still holding my hand. His other hand is touching my face. I look up at him since he is much taller than me. If I'm not mistaken he is about over 6 feet tall and he has a muscular body. He is wearing a long sleeves polo which is now slightly crumpled. He is wearing black slacks pants and black shoes. I think he just went straight to the bar after work.

"Come with me." He said.

"What?" I asked.

But to my surprise, without a word, he pulls my hand as he walks fast heading outside the bar. My mind is screaming I shouldn't go with him. It is telling me to pull out my hand and run but I can't. It's like I'm hypnotized. We went to his car and he opened the door on the passenger seat for me. Like a puppet controlled by him, I went inside his car.
